Albert is clearly not Dwayne Bowe, in putting his head down, signing and playing out the tag.
Albert has been vocal on twitter, NFL Network and anywhere he can cry about his contract, long term security, etc. He's completely different from a guy like Bowe, that is obvious. That's the type of person he is. You didnt see Bowe last year talking to other teams under the franchise tag or taking physicals with other teams only to be laughed at for contract demands. Bowe was under lock and key under that tag, nobody was talking to him. Whether a smoke screen or not. Albert has a really high asking price for his value. Albert, knowing how much he has left, is looking for a HUGE payday right now. Bowe was just looking to be paid based on his production with crappy QBs over the years.
That is the difference. Albert probably wont even show until week 1. We will spend all training camp with a 2nd stringer playing LT, then Albert will sign right before the season starts or in the final week of preseason and what, people just think hes going to be in NFL game ready shape ready to protect our almost 30 year old injury prone QB? fat chance.
